Abstract

The study conducted by William Philips in 1958 and the eponymous Philips Curve have continued to evolve the inflation and unemployment literature to this day. Within this scope, 2382 studies compiled from the Web of Science core collection, covering the years 1980-2022, have been examined and subjected to specific analyses. As a result of the conducted analyses, it has been identified that the institutions, countries, and author collaborations of the so-called developed countries are quite strong, and the studies affiliated with these institutions, countries, and authors have been pioneering in the field. When examined from the perspective of the utilized keywords, it has been determined that the main research topics of the literature, such as "unemployment," "inflation," and "Philips Curve," are extensively used. A noteworthy point regarding the 2382 studies identified within the imposed constraints is that the majority of influential studies have been conducted after the year 2000. In light of the findings obtained from the analyses, a broad perspective on the literature is provided, and the evolution that the literature has undergone over the years is showcased. Additionally, it is anticipated that researchers contributing to the literature will better identify the gaps in the field by examining this study, thus making valuable contributions.

ENFLASYON VE İŞSİZLİK ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİYİ KONU ALAN ÇALIŞMALARIN BİBLİYOMETRİK AĞ ANALİZİ

Abstract

1958 yılında William Philips tarafından yapılan çalışma ve yine kendi adını taşıyan Philips Eğrisi ile enflasyon ve işsizlik literatürü günümüze kadar evrimini gerçekleştirmeye devam etmiştir. Bu kapsamda Web of Science çekirdek koleksiyonundan derlenen ve 1980-2022 yıllarını kapsayan 2382 çalışma incelenmiş ve belirli analizlere tabi tutulmuştur. Yapılan analizler neticesinde gelişmiş ülke olarak nitelendirilen ülkelerin kurum, ülke ve yazar işbirliklerinin oldukça güçlü olduğu, ek olarak söz konusu kurum, ülke ve yazarlara ait çalışmaların alana öncülük ettiği de tespit edilmiştir. Kullanılan anahtar kelimeler açısından bakıldığında literatürün ana araştırma konularını oluşturan “unemployment”, “inflation”, “Philips Curve” gibi anahtar kelimelerin yoğun olarak kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Girilen kısıtlar kapsamında ortaya çıkan 2382 çalışmanın yıl bazında gösterdiği önemli bir hususta etkili çalışmaların yoğunluklu olarak 2000 yılından sonra yer aldığı görülmektedir. Yapılan analizlerden elde edilen bulgular ışığında literatüre geniş bir perspektiften bakılması sağlanırken, literatürün yıllar içerisinde geçirmiş olduğu evrimde gözler önüne serilmiştir. Ek olarak literatüre katkı yapacak olan araştırmacıların çalışmayı inceleyerek elde edilecek olan fikirlerle literatürde bulunan boşlukları daha iyi göreceği ve alana katkı yapacağı öngörülmektedir.
